About
Peter Roosjen is a leading researcher in optical remote sensing, with a particular focus on the measurement and modeling of surface reflectance anisotropy. His key contributions center on advancing our understanding of how vegetation and soil surfaces scatter light in different directions—a critical factor for accurate satellite-based Earth observation. Roosjen is best known for developing a state-of-the-art laboratory goniometer system, detailed in his highly cited 2012 paper (28 citations), which uses a robotic arm to rapidly capture multi-angular reflectance and emittance data across the full hemisphere under controlled lighting. This innovative system has become a foundational tool for validating radiative transfer models and calibrating satellite sensors. His work has directly improved the retrieval of biophysical parameters like leaf area index and canopy chlorophyll content, with his research accumulating over 500 citations. Roosjen’s achievements include leading field campaigns for the European Space Agency and contributing to the development of next-generation imaging spectrometers, making him a pivotal figure in bridging laboratory precision with real-world remote sensing applications.
